I don't really understand what you mean by smog and humidity.  Do the discs actually play ok?  If they do I wouldn't recommend cleaning the inside of the discs.  If they don't play and moisture has somehow got inside the shell of the disc, I would leave them somewhere warm like an airing cupboard overnight until they dry out and then try them again.

If the surface of the disc itself is very dusty, you could try something like this to clean them.

I hope this helps:)

I guess he means condensation. You should try opening the shutter so it dries out.

Open it by using a second minidisc. Put the corner in the groove and push it open like so:

You can also do this by inserting the disk halfway into a portable so the shutter starts to open and try to hold it back while taking the disc out.

I wonder if he is just noticing the lube on the top surface? in my mini disc  ownership early days I took a load of  minidiscs back to a hifi shop saying the top surface was scratched or some thing as you could see circular lines where the record head had on the top  left marks ( in the  maybe excessive lube)
